Imagine a tightrope walker blaming their safety net for a fall — retrying, hoping the net won't catch them the second time, or worse, removing it altogether. Sounds absurd, right?

Yet, in software testing, we often treat "flaky tests" with the same flawed logic.

Did you know that many software defects arise from unclear requirements?

What we're seeing today is #AI attempting to assist in test creation, promising to increase code coverage. However, this approach often emphasizes testing our implementations rather than #testing against our #requirements, which I believe has its value but also carries certain risks that must be carefully considered.

When I chose Serenity/JS as a vendor-agnostic API, my intention was to isolate my test specification from the test runner. Today, I seamlessly transitioned from Protractor to Playwright in less than 10 minutes. The kicker? No need for me, any AI, or non-AI tool to lay a finger on selectors or test specs. All it took was a swift config update.

If your approach to software testing consists of merely navigating through predefined test cases with specified inputs and expected outcomes, and your only action is to tick checkboxes without engaging in thorough testing, then you are not functioning as a tester; rather, you are akin to a bot.

People are a group of individuals. Each of them with their own mindset, their own problems and their own way to cope with them.

People are not some ingredients in some recipe from some process cookbook.

People are the team using ingredients. Going to the market, buy them, take the order, cook the meal, serve it and finally wash the dishes.

In good times, good teams don’t need recipes.

In bad times, good teams know the recipe how to deliver.

This is a part of what #agile means to me.

"In larger organizations, [...] there may be more than one team working on a product, such as an independent database team, user experience team, or other product team. In these cases, the whole-team definition extends to mean whoever you need to deliver the product."

I'm just not sure how large this can be scaled up when things getting more complex.

Really like the idea of the “whole team" approach by Janet Gregory and @lisacrispin.

This includes all "people who are responsible for understanding what to build, building it, and delivering the final product to the customer." And from my understanding really ALL people.

Some takeaways from my first "active social media experience" since ever: As I think, I'm a person, who would not pull out a pre-made opinion out of the shelve, it takes really a lot of time to try to:

- not misunderstand your peers & answer in a way you are not misunderstood
- get the context of your peers
- not to act impulsive
- apply real world behavior here
- value every single second, you're doing this

Guess that is not such a bad finding for this experiment.

"Exhaustive testing is impossible."

Do you think, that people sometimes misuse this claim, be it on purpose or not?

Either management people misuse it to cancel testing efforts at all?

Or testers themselves misuse it as an excuse for an insufficient test design?
